Nice sharp image of the coot. But, I must add the reflections on the coot I find distracting, specially the one which starts right below the bill. Do like the amber water. Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed your coot images.

Jerry, another fine Coot image. Details look good and I like the water color a lot. Maybe just a bit centered in the frame. Nice work! :smile:

Jerry,
Another really fine example of a coot. Beautiful water color,head turn and reflection. Exposed nicely. I actually love the reflections on the bird but I do find the one right around his neck slightly distracting but not a deal killer. I've enjoyed your coot showcase over the last couple weeks. :toast:
